    1. [TNMARSHA] Wall Obit - Bradshaw, Southerland, Davault, Willbanks, Haddock, McGaugh
    2. Ann Wall
    3. Happy Holidays All, Looking for relatives of this family. Mrs. Wall was the prior Mary Ann McGaugh. Let hear from you. Ann Friday, September 3, 1909 Madill, Marshall Co.. Ok Last Tribute to J.J. (Grandpa) Walls One of the largest funeral processions ever seen at Cumberland was that which gathered at the Baptist Church at that place last Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock to pay the last tribute of respect to the remains of the late J.J. (Grandpa) Wall, and followed his body to its resting place in the Cumberland cemetery. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by the Masonic fraternity of which order Mr. Wall had been a member for the rise of 51 years. Several songs were sung, a scripture lesson was read by W. S. Derrick of Madill, and a very impressive talk was made by him. After this J.T. Arrington made a few remarks on the life work of Brother Wall. The friends were allowed to take a last or farewell look at the face of him that had been so familiar to them in times past but that should be viewed no more on this earth. Affectionate and admiring friends lingered long by the bier looking at the remains of this venerable citizen through tears which were fast falling from their anxious eyes. Sunday School children of all classes, who knew Grandpa so well and loved him so dearly weeped as though their hearts would break at the thought of seeing him no more. Matured women and stout hearted men, the tears crept unbidden into their eyes when they realized that one of their number who had done so much and had worked so hard, so faithfully for the upbuilding of society and the good of his fellows. If he ever had a critic, he was now turned into admirer, and he, too, spoke words of commendation and praise. The most hardened sinner agreed in the statement that: “Grandpa was a good man.” Such a life brings forth words of commendation; such a life is worthy of emulation. J.J. Wall was born in Middle Tennessee, in Marshall county, in the year 1837, on the 3rd day of March. When young he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ann McGaugh, 1855, who survived him. To this union twelve children were born, of whom, Mrs. Bradshaw of Van Alstyne, Tex., Mrs. J. Southerland of Madill, Mrs. W. A. Davault of Madill, Mrs. J. W. Willbanks of Ada, and three sons, T.J., J.L. and Will Wall are still living. He also raised Mrs. E.T. Haddock, a grand daughter. At his death he had thirty-two grand children and three great grand children. More than fifty years ago grandpa made a profession of religion and joined the Methodist church of which he has since been a faithful and regular attendant, being a great worker in all kinds of Sunday School and Church work. His wife, Grandma Wall, has been a faithful companion indeed. She rejoiced with him in prosperity and when the hour of adversity came she was a loving and affectionate helpmate. During the few remaining days she has to stay here, loving hands will do all they can to make her happy.

    3. Hi Paul, It may look like the virus is coming from the list, but rootsweb doesn't allow attachment, any email to the list with an attachment gets kicked back to me. (Giving me lots of virus chances!) What happens is, the virus sends out messages to the addresses in your address book, and it uses (forges) the subject lines of old emails. This website will tell you how to get rid of it. <"http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/newapt.htm">click</a> You may try calling your ISP, maybe someone there can walk you through removing it.

My system has been infected and the F-Secure program finds but will not eradicate it. The latest update for Norton Ant-Virus does not detect this virus/worm! That's how I got it in the first place.
